Kings Kids Christian School

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Dear Parents,

I am delighted to welcome you to this pro-

spectus for Kings Kids Christian School. I

hope that it will convey something of the

atmosphere that makes Kings Kids unique.

Kings Kids Christian School is a mixed sex

Christian school whose curriculum is estab-

lished on Biblical principles. The school

provides a sound academic education in a

Christian atmosphere that enriches lives,

builds character and self-discipline. The

Kings Kids Christian School curriculum is

based on the ACE (Accelerated Christian

Education) School of Tomorrow

Programme.

Wisdom is the highest of the three dimen-

sions of life and helps students to walk with

God, to live as He did when He was in hu-

man form. That is the purpose of education

- to teach children not only about life, but

how to live. Jesus is to be in the centre of all

learning.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Okenwa Headteacher

KKCS 01|

HEADTEACHER: Mrs Mary Okenwa BEd, PG Dip (SEN).

Leading children on the right path way of

life.

1. Educational Objectives

2. What is ACE?

3. Individualisation

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

To implement high-tech, individualised cur-riculum and learning procedures using the five laws of learning

To introduce and reinforce traditional values that will increase personal responsibility, character development and positive citizen-ship.

To reduce the rate of school dropouts and failures through academic safety nets and quality control.

We believe that parents are responsible for the education of the children in the home, in the church and in the school. The home is primary and is never replaced by the school. During the school day, the teachers are in ‘1oco parents’ in the place of the parents, which makes the parents and teacher partners in education. Children are to be taught at home as well as at school.

(School of Tomorrow Programme)ACE (Accelerated Christian Education) is a highly quality academic programme that seeks to develop the entire person for secular success and a life of Christian service. This is achieved through a pro-gramme, which emphasises excellence in a bible-centred education, rooted in a faith and commit-ment to Jesus Christ, and grounded in the truth of the scripture. The combination of academics and methodology, based on physiological development patterns and Bible principles sets School of To-morrow curriculum apart from other . It provides mastery learning, critical analysis, con-ceptualisation, cognitive reasoning and life from God’s perspective

The educational concept of School of Tomorrow is built on five basic laws of learning:

Students must be at a level where they can perform

Reasonable goals must be set

Students must be controlled and motivated

Learning must be measurable

Learning must be rewarded

A number of distinctive set the School of Tomor-row apart from other educational programs.

The educational process proceeds at the exact level determined by the child’s ability, Whether the student is a high-achiever or a moderate-paced learner,. This is what is meant by individualisa-tion. Individualisation makes it possible for each student to master the subject matter before mov-ing on. Such mastery is the foundation upon which all future learning is built. Each core sub-ject is divided into 12 ‘bite-size’ individualisedpackets of study per level known as PACE. PACES are diagnostically prescribed according to the academic level of each student. Each PACE is accompanied by a PACE test

7. Our commitment

Our objectives are:

with Ace and Christi (Reception)

Individualisation produces academic excellence. School of Tomorrow students continue to demon-strate above-average achievement. One reason for this is because students take responsibility for their own learning. Another reason is because of the character training in wisdom. Moreover, these stu-dents go on to higher education and into business and professional pursuits with confidence and a superb educational background.

Character training receives as part of this learning experience. It prepares students to welcome and accept challenges and future opportunities that come their way.

Biblical values and concepts considered founda-tional to meaningful interpersonal relationships and productive living. There are conveyed throughout the curriculum in such a way as to be-come life-shaping influences.

We as a school try to make all students to feel at home and in unity with each other.

As a school we make it known to our pu-pils that responsibility is a must. They are given different responsibilities in the school.

We teach the children to be diligent in their work as to help them in their daily lives to work hard.

The staff of Kings Kids Christian School are com-mitted to providing first–class education for all stu-dents.

To establish a firm belief in the Bible as the-word of God.

To prepare the student for the fulfilment of God’s purpose in his/her life by educating the whole person: The intellectual, emo-tional, physical and spiritual parts.

To build Christian character and patriotism.To maintain high academic standards and achieve a discipline that will adhere to high moral and ethical principles.

To train future Christian leadership in the church and secular world.

Each student entering the School of Tomorrow program is given diagnostic tests to determine skill and concept mastery. The diagnostic tests are thorough and complete and give assurance of the ex-act prescription of academic need in each of the five academic areas tested.

This pre-school programme features a com-plete scope and sequence of concepts and skills needed to prepare children to be ready to read. Sixty PACES (2000 pages) filled with animal pictures, activities, and full-colour picture stories encourage a child to want to read. He/she will also learn social skills, the wonders of God’s world, and the reality of God’s love.

This multi-sensory, phonetic learning-to-read program is designed to prepare a child for individualized instruction of the PACE curriculum. Within a period of 12-15 weeks a child should be able to read through learn-ing letter sounds, alphabet sequence, and word relationships.

The core curriculum consists of the follow-ing subjects; Mathematics, English, Word Building (spelling), Social Studies, Litera-ture and Creative Writing and Bible Read-ing, Science. An optional subject is Animal Science.

Code of Conduct

|

Children in the school will be required to attend Physical Education activities and other sports ac-tivities. We do Sports Day frequently to ensure that the children are kept in a healthy physical state.

As an extra curriculum the school does music teaching on the piano and the violin. These are paid for and have a small token fee. Please contact Headteacher for more information.

Many time consuming and frustrating discipline problems in schools are related to dress–weak dress and appearance standards tend to undermine the character and strength of any school. We be-lieve that academic

achievement is closely linked to student grooming and modest dress standards. Kings Kids Christian School has a standard uniform for all students. The lifestyle to which the student conforms in school affects both his attitudes today and many decisions he/she will make in the future.

It is a policy of our school that no student is ex-cused from Physical Education without a doc-tor’s note.

Students attending school activities on or off school premises during or after school hours must wear clothing consistent with the school uniform standard.

The school runs an after school club from 3.30pm-5.30pm for a fee of £20 per child per week or £5.00 per day for parents who want their child/ren to stay at school for extended hours.

If a parent withdraws his/her child/ren from the school, one full terms notices in writing or pay-ment in lieu of notice is required.

If a child deliberately destroys school property, the parent/Guardian is liable to the full payment for replacements.

The students at Kings Kids are well disciplined. They take personal responsibility for their own behaviour and are therefore a credit to the school. We believe strongly that this should re-main the situation. We ask parents to support us fully in all aspects of discipline.Discipline within the school is firm and friendly, based upon respect. We believe that children will respond to a positive approach of encour-agement, praise and rewards. Great importance is attached to high standards of conduct and the formation of good character.

KKCS 06

Students are expected to respect their own property and that of other people.All rewards and sanctions will be in adherence with the school’s Code of Conduct.

Celebrating success is essential and students are encouraged to work towards achieving the rewards available for effort, academic progress, personal achievement and consideration for others needs. A merit system operates throughout the school to support this. Where difficulties arise there is a sanction procedure with which all students are fa-miliar.A whole School Code of Conduct is available on request and will be issued to all new students and parents.

If your child is unwell at school we have a medical area and a fully trained First Aider on duty throughout the day. When deemed necessary you will be contacted so that arrangements can be made for them to go home. We ask parents to pro-vide the school with some basic details relating to their son/daughter’s medical background in confi-dence, so that we can ensure that their needs are met.

Children really do come first at Kings Kids Chris-tian School; we therefore have a Child Protection Policy, which falls in line with legislation. Copies of the document can be seen at the school.

We are very aware of the Special Needs of both gifted children and those with varying degrees of learning difficulty. Good monitoring enables us to quickly identify a child who may be experiencing difficulty or may need an extra challenge in a sub-ject.

The school Behaviour and Sanctions policy high-lights the promotion of good behaviour as a key factor in raising pupil’s achievement and staff strive to maintain and promote pupil attendance. However, on occasions, it may be necessary to ini-tiate short term exclusion proceedings towards a pupil in school when their behaviour has been un-acceptable. Whilst this is recognised as an extreme measure, it may be a necessary step to best serve the interests of the pupil in question and the other pupils in school. Where exclusion is unavoidable,

the policy specifies the stages to follow. On such occasions, the school will endeavour to work closely with the care home to provide an alternative individ-ual educational programme, which may include in-dependent study work and/or home tuition. Aiming to re-integrate the pupil over a short timescale, the pupil’s behaviour will be ad-dressed and the school expectations reaffirmed whilst the alternative programme is being followed. Further details can be seen in the policy, which is available on request.
